The partner--and best friend--of a tough New York detective is murdered by killers working for a local mob.

Robert John Davi is an American actor and singer.GQ magazine compared him to silver screen classics Robert Mitchum and Lee Marvin, and Interview Magazine called him a latter-day Humphrey Bogart. He played roles such as Vietnam veteran and Special Agent Johnson in Die Hard the villainous, singing Fratelli brother, Jake, in The Goonies, and Al Torres in the cult classic Showgirls.

My critique of "Contract on Cherry Street" stems from its emphasis on the 70s archetype of a 'man's man.' The narrative presents police officers so consumed by their desire for justice that they cross ethical lines, with one even spiraling into serial killing. A particular scene stands out, where the lead character offers some serious mansplaining on gender roles that might not resonate well with today's audience, especially modern women.

NYC police officer confronts the mob after his partner is killed. This rare TV performance features Frank Sinatra is solid form, surrounded by good character players like Martin Balsam and Martin Gabel.
